Why read it?

1 author picked Fannie Flagg's Original Whistle Stop Cafe Cookbook as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I realize that I hardly need to say more, but… that’s not even the best part. Fannie’s signature sense of humor shines throughout this beautiful book. (Don’t worry, the pulled pork is made with actual pork!)
